SHERIDAN AND FlTz HUGH LEE.

A Historical Meeting Mt a Recent White
House Dinner.
That was a striking illustration of letting
bygones be bygones the other day at a White
House dinner in Washington. Among those
present at the banquet were Gen. Sheridan
and Governor Fitz Hugh Lee, Of Virginia.
Their wives were present with them. Mrs.
Lee, a beautiful, g~ray-haired woman, was
taken to dinner by Gen. Sheridan. Mrs.
Sheridan, who, some say, is the prettiest
woman in Washington, went in on the arm
Of Governor Lee. The two men sat opposite
each other.
It was a brilliant scene, with shs flowers,
the cleaning chandeliers and the ladies' bright
dresses. 1t recalled to more than one mind a
scene which happened between these anne
two men not quite twenty-five years ago.
1t recalled in brief the fact that Sheridan and
Lee were the two generals who did the very
last OF the fighting between Union and Con-
f~eIerates at the fallo of Richmond, in April '65.

Well authenticated pictures show that with
IN the last three centuries bonnets like thosein
the second illustration have been worn by the
highest ladies of the lands. They were rem
dered additionally high by their hats. Old
engravings and paintings of the continent of
Europe represent the leaning tower headdress
exhibited in the figure on the right. In the
days of our own grandmothers bonnets like
that upon the central figure were worn. They
were called asky scrapers,' and across the
formidable looking brim In front were draped
black and white embroidered wells, done in
silk by the delicate fingers of maidens fair,
"their ownselves.n 1t was before the days of
machine embroidery. Many of these beauti-
full old wells are even now in possession of
maidens as fair as those who wrought the
delicate silken netting, but who are great
granddaughter of the DANES that wore the
sky scraping bonnets.
On the right is yet another monstrous hat.
1t is of the style worn by the court ladies of
France in 1887. At that time women rolled
their hair back over a cushion and powdered
it white, in the style of hapless Queen Marie
Antoinette. So, perhaps, it is a consolation,
though a slim one, to know that women are
NO nio1e absurd than they always were.
THE question of the obstluctionist theatre
ndtS IS peshS very earnestly discussed at
present. 1t is o little odd, by the by, that no
objection has been raised against these hats
in church, though the same ones are worn to
both church and theatre. Perhaps the stock
OF Christian grace IS SO much larger in a
church than in a theatre that the nuisance is
put UP with uncomplainingly there.
If we are SO fond Of initiating British
fashions, we certainly ought to follow the
best Of them. In London bonnets are only
worn in theatres of the lowest class. In the
best ones women, like men, are barehcadedl
A woman looks so much prettier barebeaded
than in any kind Of a bonnet that it is a pity
she will not sit without a bonnet. The reason

Noted English Savant Who Is About to

to become an American citizen, and is

of that State. The learned man 8 wife
is an American, and it is fair to pre-
sumo that she is entitled to more credit
than the sunny groves of Florida for
her husbands intention to make his
home i'm the United States.
Mr. Proctor was born in England in
the year 1897, in good social position,
and received thorough education.
After preparatory studies in several
private schools. he proceeded to King 5
College, London, and from thence to
St. Johns College, Cambridge, where
he was graduated in 1860, with honOrs
In 1866 he was appointed a Fellow Of
the Royal Astronomical Society of Eng
land; and an honorary Fellow of King 5
College, London, in 1873. He edited
the proceedings of the Royal A stro-
nomical Society in 1928. In 1869 he
created great interest by maintaining
against the almost universal opinion OF
astronomers. the theory of the solar
corona and also that of the inner com
pick solar atmosphere, this the
discovery of Prof. Young, both
of which have since been ac-
cepted. Mr.. Proctor has lectured in

Mr.. Proctor has written much on
scientific subjects in various publica-
tons, and is the author of more than
sixty books. Kn0Wled9e. an English

The Comparative Longevity of the Male
and Female Sexes.
The Hebrew women are the longest
lived, and the colored men the shortest.
1t appears from gathered statistics of
the world that women have greater
tenacity of life than men. Nature
wOrships the female in all its varieties.
Among insects the male perishes at a
relatively earlier period. In plants
the seminate blossoms die earliest, and
are produced in the weaker limbs. Fe-
male quadrupeds have more endurance
than males. In the human race,
despite the intellectual and physical
strength of the man, the woman en-
dures longest. and will bear pain to
which the strong man succumbs.
Zymotic diseases are more fatal to
males, and more male children die than
female. Deverga asserts that the pro-
portion dying suddenly is about 100
women to 700 men; 1880 men in the
United States, in 1870, committed sui
eide, to 2S5 women. Intemperance,
apoplexy, govt, hydrocephalus, affec-
tons of the heart or liver, scrofula,
paralysis, are more fatal to males than
females. Pulmonary consumption, on
the ether hand, is more deadly to the
latter Females in cities are more
prone to consumption than in the coun-

by emigration have a majority of fe-
males in the population. In royal
